Tripwire co-founder John Gibson told Fox host Tucker Carlson that 'social terrorism' forced him to step down as CEO following an anti-abortion statement.
. Other game studios also weighed in: Chivalry 2 developer Torn Banner Studios said Gibson's statement"stands in opposition to what we believe about women’s rights," while Shipwright Studios, which had worked with Tripwire as a co-developer on games including Chivalry 2 and Maneater,.
"This created an untenable situation with the 'least bad' solution being that we would sell the company and I would leave Tripwire completely," Gibson said."While I remained a board member during this time, I functionally left the position of CEO and remained with the company in an unspecified role and as the largest single shareholder until Tripwire was sold to Embracer." Gibson declined to clarify what position he held at the studio after stepping down as CEO.
At the time of his resignation, Gibson said in a statement that Tripwire's owners and executives"acted with class" and"professionalism" and that they treated him"with great care and dignity" in the days leading up to his departure, and more recently tweeted that he"," remained employed by the studio for a year longer, and then helped broker the sale of the company to Embracer Group earlier this year.
"People were out buying cars and houses, and I would see people coming into work smiling and happy, and I just loved having a job where I got to make, not just the public happy, but the employees happy. And to have that all destroyed, to feel like—I shared something with my wife, I'll tell you what I said to her. I said, I just want to die. Because I don't want to live in a world that's this unjust. Yeah, I got depressed, I got of course angry, suicidal.
